<A market fragmented by 2 or more suppliers, each holding a small fraction of the overall market, results in stagnation - due to lack of real profits for future investments.>

A single player in a $20B+ is an unstable concept. Most healthy markets, technology or otherwise, have 2 or 3 major players - the leader is always the most profitable but the other two make money too. Also, stagnation occurs if there is only one player in the market. Healthy competition always fosters growth.

What is your argument on why there will be "lack of real profits" or "stagnation" with 2 or 3 players?
